Everybody poops, but not everybody poops in public. People on Reddit are telling the tales of messing up and get away with it, many of which involve shitting themselves in public spaces. Here are some inspiring tales of messing up, fleeing the scene, and surprisingly getting away with it.
1. Every party has a pooper, to rscott89's chagrin.
I was at a party in college when I felt that sudden and unmistakable rumble of an on coming beer shit. I ran off to the bathroom and managed to slip in unnoticed. With the door locked and my anonymity intact I proceeded to do horrible, unspeakable things to that toilet. I was in there for maybe about 15 minutes, which during a beer filled college binge-fest is a life time for the bathroom to be occupied. The line had grown outside the door, with people pounding away trying to get in before they pissed themselves. When I finished, the stench was unspeakable, and any attempt to flush would have been a fools errand. With most of the angry voices outside the door being female, I knew walking out through the door and owning my shame was not an option. So I climbed through the window and walked to a near by gas station to pick up a case of beer in order to conceal my absence as nothing more than a beer run. I walked back into the party with no one the wiser to my involvement into what had evolved into the legend of the midnight mystery pooper.
2. hors3y picked the best time to fess up to a fallen cake.
I knocked over my boyfriend's birthday cake. It was an outdoor joint birthday party with his best friend. I bumped into the corner of it and it hit the grass. I left the scene.
I admitted it to him in our wedding vows.
3. Karma got to the guy, but Missyellicat's next.
My sister's boyfriend had just come over after work and he always parks behind me so I have to look for his car when I leave so I don't hit it. Well I hit it one night at like 2am. I hit it hard enough that the whole car moved about about a foot. I go out and look at the damage I've caused and there's a big red streak (my car is red) and the front plate thing where the tire is is disconnected from the rest of the car, but only about an inch so it's not too noticeable. Well anyways I scuff out the scratch for about an hour and just kinda pushed the plate closer and went back inside and didn't say a word. The next morning he got pissed because he thought he had gotten away Scott free from a parked red car HE had hit the day prior and he just noticed that it caused damage to his car. Haha fuck yeah.
4. M1_A1 took on the acting challenge.
Whilst making a cup of tea, I knocked someones retirement cake off the table in the kitchen. They were just about to take it to her desk and had left the room to get her gift. I creeped out of the room and just acted totally shocked and outraged when they told everyone.
5. Highly_Caffeinated experienced a modern miracle.
on a run I feel the dreadful shift to the left. The bank I go into is super busy so nobody sees me run to the bathroom. I don't make it to the toilet. underwear, shorts, floor, hell I think I shat out my pancreas at some point. Lo and behold a miracle! Someone had left a pair of pants in the bathroom. I ditched the underwear and shorts in the trash ( there was no saving them), I did my best to clean the floor, left $20 on the pant rack and bailed with my new stolen bathroom pants. Have not been back to that bank in 4 years
6. We_Are_The_Waiting with the old fart and flee.
I farted when class was starting so i walked out to get water. As i walked out i heard some girl say "ew whats that smell... ugghhh..."
7. The Great Walmart Flood, as started by SSGTObvious.
I dropped a gallon jug of water at Walmart. It burst open and before I could go find an employee to ask for some paper towels, someone pulled down the rack bar that runs along the soda rack and holds up all the sodas. Easily over 200 2l bottles on the shelf came tumbling down and exploding all over the floor.
8. A young thejudicialpenis with the masterful poo removal maneuver (say that 10 times fast).
I shit my pants during pool day at Summer day care (or whatever you call it, ages ranged from 5-12, I think I was 7 at the time). I managed to maneuver the turd out of my shorts and into a corner where nobody was looking. Ten minutes later, everyone was crowded around looking at my turd. I joined in to avoid raising suspicion. Nobody ever found out.
9. I_Enjoy_Cashews found a convenient scapegoat.
One time I shat my pants in elementary school, but I sat next to this gross kid who was notorious for shitting his pants, so everyone was blaming him the entire time. The worst part was that it was one of those rare days that he actually didn't shit his pants so he was getting so frustrated when people were telling him to go clean his undergarments.
10. One person's muddy water isxHowla's life saver.
This was back in high school and during class my period started. I only realized this when I stood up and noticed a big red stain on the seat. I quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped it off during lunch, fortunately no one had noticed. But when I went to the bathroom I noticed a big reddish-brown stain on the bottom of my jeans.
It had been raining earlier that day and I walked out of the bathroom quickly to the lunch table my friends were at and purposefully sat down on a seat full of muddy water. I jumped up and made a fuss about my ruined jeans while my friends laughed, but the mud successfully covered up/blended with the blood stain. That ended up being my cover story for the rest of the day until I got home and threw my jeans in the wash.
11. nightmare647 lives up to their name with a poo bomb.
Sometime in middle school I hid some modeling clay, a birthday candle and a string of Black Cats in my long socks. I went to the bathroom right before class started, and pretended to poop in the last stall. What really happened was I stuck the candle in the clay behind the toilet and positioned the fuse of the firecrackers half way down the candle, lit it and went to class. About 20 minutes later all hell broke loose and we had a lock down. The next day all the usual suspects were called into the office and no one suspected a thing.
12. Some real Disney magic for Agave.
So I'm with my brother and we're around 9 and 12. We're at a hotel in Disney World and my brother dares me to pull one of the fire alarms. I pull it. Havoc ensues. You have these old Floridians and all these kids and everything standing out in the parking lot looking around. Over a hundred people out there in bathrobes and stuff. Firetrucks come. I'm hanging my head and panicking and my whole family is staring at me saying, "I know it was you." Then this security guy, somehow knowing it was me (surveillance tapes?) comes up and says real loud like, right near my family, "Another one is going off in another building, this is an electrical problem." My whole family were suddenly convinced it wasn't me. THANK YOU RANDOM NICE GUY!
